How does Mark Snyder Electric compare where you live? Rankings are local; an installer that leads one city can trail in the next. See how they rank in your city →

Why this differs from star ratings: most five-star reviews say “great company” and stop, and star averages reward that. These category scores only count reviews with concrete evidence, weighted by recency and the reviewer’s track record. A company can hold a strong star average while specific categories score lower; that gap is usually where the real story is. Categories with more complaints than praise are the questions worth asking any bidder, not necessarily dealbreakers.

Where Mark Snyder Electric builds

County-by-county activity from CPUC records through May 2026.

What this data covers: *Counts on this page, including the totals up top, come from investor-owned-utility interconnection records (SCE, SDG&E, PG&E). Work in municipal-utility territory, such as LADWP or city utilities, and outside California does not appear here, so this company's true totals are higher than shown. Unlike the county rankings, this profile also shows counties below the 250-install ranking floor.

Mark Snyder Electric reviews: what customers say

An independent synthesis of published customer feedback across Google and Yelp, updated September 23, 2026. Green marks praise, amber mixed experiences, red complaints.

Sales & proposal integrity

Sales Integrity6.4/10

Reviewers often describe clear, reasonable quotes and helpful guidance on equipment choices and follow-up questions. At the same time, some reviews report billing surprises and disputes about added charges or labor time, so proposal integrity reads as mixed overall.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Clear quotes and helpful guidance. Several reviewers say the company provided detailed quotes, explained next steps, and stayed available for questions during the job planning stage. Representative review excerpt: "They provided a reasonable and detailed quote, they completed the work on time and did everything they promised."

Responsive follow-up. Reviewers also describe prompt callbacks and practical help with communications needed to complete fixes with the utility or power company. Representative review excerpt: "Mark always calls you back and makes time for any and all question you may have."

Billing and scope disputes. Other reviewers report surprise charges, extra line items, or disagreements about billed labor and work that they say was not clearly agreed to up front. Representative review excerpt: "Gave a reasonable quote over the phone and then added in a couple hundred dollars for phone calls, mailing the box, and filling out a form."

Price & financing transparency

Price Transparency6.1/10

Feedback on pricing is split between reviewers who say invoices felt fair and straightforward and reviewers who describe unexpected charges or bills that did not match their expectations. Complaints focus on surprise invoices, labor-hour disputes, and costs that some customers say were not clearly explained in advance.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Some found pricing fair. Reviewers describe a recurring pattern in this area. Representative review excerpt: "I received an invoice for what I would consider the bare minimum--and it didn't even include the considerable time Mark spent speaking with me, troubleshooting the issue, and helping coordinate..."

Transparent, efficient payment experiences. Some customers say the billing process was simple and that payment was easy to complete after the work was done. Representative review excerpt: "Payment was quick and easy."

Surprise charges and labor disputes. Other reviewers report unexpected invoices, added charges, and concerns that billed labor did not match the time spent on site. Representative review excerpt: "We received an invoice on work that was never agreed to, Synder Electric never proposed in writing as an estimate and just a surprise invoice weeks later to a scope..."

Communication & coordination

Communication6.4/10

Reviewers frequently praise the company for explaining work clearly and helping coordinate utility-related steps and process details. However, a meaningful set of reviews report missed calls, weak follow-up, or scheduling problems, so communication appears uneven.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Clear explanations and process guidance. Several reviewers say the team explained systems well and shared practical documents or instructions for ongoing care. Representative review excerpt: "They were so good at explaining how it works and even emailed us a document about how to take care of your batteries and inverter!"

Helpful coordination with utility steps. Some customers describe the company as helpful in managing a multi-step process that involved approvals, utility coordination, and final certification. Representative review excerpt: "They helped navigate the entire process which takes weeks and requires significant coordination with the local utility, obtaining various approvals, completing the actual electric box replacement and then finally certification..."

Unresponsive or inconsistent follow-up. Other reviewers report difficulty reaching the office, slow callbacks, or appointments that were not handled as scheduled. Representative review excerpt: "I waited, and waited, then called them and they didn't even have me on their schedule (and they are the ones that gave me the appointment day and time)."

Timeline reliability

Timeline Reliability6.3/10

Timeline feedback is limited but mixed. Some reviewers say work started promptly or finished as promised, while others describe scheduling mistakes and delays that affected the visit date.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Prompt response for urgent repairs. Reviewers say the team showed up promptly for temporary repairs so work could continue while a larger replacement was arranged. Representative review excerpt: "Mark's team showed up promptly to make temporary repairs so I could continue to maintain my household while we scheduled in a full electric service replacement."

Completed on time in some cases. Some customers report that the job was completed on schedule and that promised work was finished as expected. Representative review excerpt: "They provided a reasonable and detailed quote, they completed the work on time and did everything they promised."

Scheduling errors and no-shows. A negative thread in the reviews says an appointment was given but the company did not have the customer on the schedule when they called to confirm. Representative review excerpt: "I waited, and waited, then called them and they didn't even have me on their schedule (and they are the ones that gave me the appointment day and time)."

Workmanship & site care

Workmanship7.2/10

Most workmanship reviews are positive and describe careful, professional work, including quick service and clean job sites. A smaller set of complaints mentions service-quality concerns or cases where the issue appeared simpler than expected, so site-care and workmanship are mostly favorable but not spotless.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Thorough repair work. Reviewers say the company investigated complicated electrical and solar issues carefully and resolved problems that had been lingering. Representative review excerpt: "Mark Snyder Electric did a very thorough investigation and repair of many compounding electrical issues in my home and solar system and resolved the problems."

Clean, professional installation. Customers also describe crews as punctual, quick, and clean during the work itself. Representative review excerpt: "Technician was on scene early and performed job quickly and cleanly."

Some service-quality concerns. A smaller set of reviews describes dissatisfaction with diagnostic work or follow-up service in situations where the fix was not handled to the customer’s expectation. Representative review excerpt: "They came to my house two days ago to replace the breaker since it shorted."

Long-term support & performance

Long-Term Support5.0/10

Post-install support is the weakest area in the review set. Some reviewers praise the team for solving hard solar issues and explaining system care, but others report slow follow-up, unreturned messages, or difficulty getting repairs and monitoring changes handled after the initial job.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Helpful system education. Several reviewers say the company took time to explain system operation and sent care instructions for batteries and inverters. Representative review excerpt: "They were so good at explaining how it works and even emailed us a document about how to take care of your batteries and inverter!"

Effective help on difficult repairs. Some customers report that the team was able to restore systems or track down hard-to-find parts when previous fixes had not worked. Representative review excerpt: "Our solar system had been down for over 1.3 years…the ‘other’ company we were using just kept putting bandaid-fixes (that didn’t work)."

Weak post-install follow-up. Other reviewers say they had trouble getting callbacks or updates after service, including repair-related follow-up and monitoring changes. Representative review excerpt: "On my most recent visit, I dropped off an Outback inverter for repair and never heard back from them."

Bottom line: MARK SNYDER ELECTRIC’s review profile is mixed, with stronger marks for workmanship and several positive notes on quoting, explanations, and job execution. The main pressure points are pricing transparency, communication follow-through, and post-install support, where reviewers more often describe surprises, delays, or difficulty getting responses.

Important context: this chart shows investor-owned-utility records only. Companies that shift work toward municipal-utility territory (LADWP and city power departments) or other states will show declining bars here even while building steadily elsewhere, and 2025-26 records also lag real installation dates. Treat this as a partial window, not the company's full trajectory.

How we built this data

Methodology: Counts are residential PV interconnections in investor-owned-utility territory (PG&E, SCE, SDG&E) per CPUC Rule 21 public records through May 2026. Postal and name variants are merged. Municipal utility territory such as LADWP, Glendale, Pasadena, Burbank, Anaheim, and Riverside Public Utilities is not included in those CPUC counts. Counts show recorded installations, not quality ratings. Reported costs are self-reported on owned-system interconnections. No installer can pay for placement.

Who we are: Solar.com is a solar marketplace — we connect homeowners with installers and earn a fee when projects move forward. These rankings and scores are computed from public installation records and published customer reviews. No installer can pay for placement, and no installer — including those we work with — can pay to change a score.
